This book is for all who have the desire and opportunity to help others in many different settings, from major disasters to the places of quiet crisis where there is no yellow tape to be found. Chaplains of the Bible inspires and equips through unique presentations of the experiences of Biblical chaplains, followed by “thoughts for the chaplain” that present relevant principles for application by the “Good Samaritans” of the current era.
The book is not only for chaplains, but also for others who have the heart to help people in crisis. It is for church leaders who see the need for ministry outside the walls of the church, and for Bible study leaders. Disaster relief organizations and other groups whose mission is to minister to the distressed will find this book to be a valuable resource.
“A most timely resource for this era of unprecedented disasters. . . ”
—David C. Vorce, President, International Fellowship of Chaplains
“In all my training experience, I have never seen such a well-written, easy-to-read book, fully devoted to Biblical perspectives for Chaplains.”
—Chuck Duby, Senior Chaplain, Hope Force International
“In these pages Dick and Pat Geyer go to the roots of the claim that helping people in time of need is the chief task of the Christian Church.”
—Kim Gee, D.Min., Senior Pastor, Winfield Bible Church, Woodbine, Maryland
